This movie is about the travels before Dai Koyamada was able to climb one of the hardest boulders in the world; “The Story Of Two Worlds (Low), 8C+” at Cresciano. Follow Dai Koyamada on his journey trough the finest and hardest granite boulders Switzerland has to offer: From the second ascent of “In Search of Time Lost, 8C” at Magic Wood to the first ascent of “Dark Matter, 8B+/C” at the same area to the first ascent and never seen footage of “Deadalus Direct, 8B+/C”, and “Paradise Lost 8B+” at the beautiful high alpine area of Sustenpass. Witness a rare ascent of “From Shallow Waters To Riverbed, 8B+” at Magic Wood and Dai’s amazing climbing style while repeating the hardest problems in Cresciano and Chironico. Even if it looks sometimes like Dai is just flying trough a problem, you will also see that he has to dig deep and that there is a lot of effort and passion behind a seemingly effortless send!

What happens when a crazy moviemaker meets a crazy boulderer and they decide to make a movie together? You could call it preprogrammed chaos, or the beginning of a joint vision. Camera work and direction show bouldering in a unique style. The philosophy and climbing artistry of Bernd Zangerl top the film off. Each of the locations -- Ticino, Magic Wood and the Silvretta Mountains -- has its own character, style and ambiance. "Every centimetre has its own significance. As in Humboldt’s view of nature, thought and feeling merge and result here in the synthesis of man and rock, the rock anthropomorphized, the human lithified." The best and most beautiful first climbs of Bernd Zangerl are documented on film, along with spectacular highballs and low water soloing.
